World-renowned guitarist NUNO BETTENCOURT has announced the official launch of NUNO GUITARS - his own guitar brand. This new venture marks Bettencourt's departure from his long-standing relationship with Washburn and represents a defining moment in his career—one that gives him complete creative control over design, innovation, and craftsmanship. "My new models, the Dark Horse and the White Stallion, lead the launch of Nuno Guitars, along with continuing the legacy of the N4. These are true workhorses built with the same passion I've put into every note I've ever played. What I'm most excited about as the Founder and CEO of my new company is communicating directly with players and fans who will get to play the exact guitars that I play on stage and in the studio. Together we're forming a new community where I can personally engage with you about a mutual passion...OUR guitars. Once you own a Nuno guitar, you are part of my family. LET'S RIDE!"
